IPod Classic play timer thingy incorrect

I've got an iPod Classic 80GB, and noticed the other day that every 10 seconds or so, the track timer (time elapsed on one side, time remaining on the other) will skip a second. eg 1,2,3,4,6,7,8...etc.
It's not exactly worrying or anything, just a bit annoying. I like to know how long my songs have gone on for, and how long is remaining.
It's not just on one particular song either; it appears to happen on every song.
Theres no pause when it skips a second, and the music doesn't jump, it just misses a number.
Any ideas on how to fix it? Or is it something I should mention to Apple via the feedback form and hope it gets fixed in the next firmware update?
Cheers

Anyone?

Can new iPod Classic play movies types iPod 5th Gen cannot?

I have an iPod 5th generation and I have not really tried to put movies on it. My wife just got a new iPod classics and we've been uploading (MP4 H.264 codec) movies on her iPod Classic. When I try to upload it on my iPod 5th Gen I get an error these files cannot be uploaded since the iPod cannot play these file types. I had the same with a *.mov file.
Can the new iPod Classic play more than the iPod 5th Gen? Or is there a way to fix this?

Try right clicking the movie in iTunes and picking the "Convert for iPod" option. Then try syncing the converted copy ("converting" makes a new copy, old version is left alone) to your 5th gen.

IPod Classic plays music, but will not show in iTuens or My computer

My ipod was working perfectly fine until 2 nights ago. I never had a problem with it then it just randomly disconnected from iTunes. I I safely removed it then plugged it back in and it froze iTunes, and didn't show in My Computer. After repeating the 5R's several times, I finally got the iPod to show, but it shows on My Computer as a drive that needs to be reformatted (both in normal and in disk mode) and I can't access it at all, when I click the ipod icon, the folder freezes for about 5-10 minutes then goes back to normal and tells me it can;t be accessed and needs to be reformatted. It will randomly show in iTunes but it will tell me that it needs to be restored to factory settings, which iTunes will not do for me.
The iPod itself works perfectly fine when its not hooked into my pc. It does everything its supposed to do. I tried hooking it in other PC's with different OS (all Windows) and I get the same result.
I also noticed that when I go into the iPod settings, it tells me that 28mb is free, when there should be about 30-40gb free. I have tried to use software like copy trans, stellar Phoenix and others but any program that tries to access the drive will freeze, lock up the pc or get a windows error.
I'm using an 80GB iPod Classic, running XP. The iPod, when hooked in, shows the typical connected logo with the two half circle arrows spinning. I get no error codes or messages other than Windows telling me it needs to be reformatted and iTunes telling me to restore it. I have no way--that I know of--to access any data on it. There is nothing in the iPod except for music and 2 videos, I haven't added any extra files to it in 2 weeks.

Same problem here - 80 gb classic and same thing happened to me this week - plays fine alone - when hooked to computer says it needs to be reformatted and then when i try to reformat i get error 1415 can't reformat - this is bs and im not shelling out for another ipod - why would it work fine but when connecting it to windows suddenly not work> I think Itunes 10 has got some issues

Ipod classic plays automatically songs I don't select

I recently bought the 160gig ipod classic. had ipod 5th gen before. no problem syncing. as soon as I put the new ipod classic in the dock it started playing something I hadn't selected. This happens every time. This never happened with earlier ipod. Any comments, suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Sorry, I mean I don't want to play but I can't stop. (discussion title)
Exactly I hear only the sounds from the videos all together.
A tried with 4 different videos and with the shortest one (149 frames) it works well.

Using iPod Classic for Time Machine or Startup Disc

I have enabled my iPod to be used as external disc on iTunes. iPod icon does show up on desktop, but is not one of my options as backup volume for Time Machine, nor as an option for startup disc. Any ideas?

It can't be used as an ext drive for Time Machine.
Also, unless you are using an Intel Mac, you cannot use it as a bootable drive via USB. Only Firewire drives can be used as bootable drive on non Intel Macs and of course the iPod Classic is not a Firewire drive.

Using Ipod Classic for Time Machine backup

If I use my Ipod Classic (60GB) as Time Machine Backup will it converted to a storage device only loosing my music and videos?.

you can't use an ipod as a TM disk.

Can iPod Classic Play Movies or Videos?

Hi... I have two iPod Classics (80GB & 160GB) and was wondering if they are capable of playing movies or videos? If not... Are any of the iPods capable of doing this?
Thanks!

But the 160GB model can play movies I buy from the iTunes store?
Yes.
If so... Is it a matter of just downloading the movie from the iTunes store and than synching (transferring) the movie onto the iPod?
That and authorizing the computer, either by briefly playing the movie or the Store menu in iTunes.

IPod Classic Plays Only One Side

IPod Classic only plays out of left speaker and/or left ear bud. How did I get repaired?

Tried pulling/pushing the plug a bit? Tried a different set of headphones?

Same file copying up to 20x throughout songs, albums artists and genres, when syncing itunes to ipod. Restored ipod classic 3 times in lastest itunes with a new user but no difference. Anyone had this happening?

Just brought IPod Classic. When sync my iTunes library to iPod multiple files, up to 20times are copying in all music categories. Apple support got me restoring iPod then creating a whole new iTunes library in a new user on my computer. Did this, sync again, same problem. Anyone experienced this?

ps when syncing it jumps through steps 1 - 4 real fast, i seem to remeber iphone showing the number of tracks transferring and names, but i see nothing? then it sits on 5 saying "waiting for changes to be applied"

IPod Classic sorting TV episodes incorrectly???

Hi,
I have an iPod Classic that is listing TV episodes by release date insread of episode number.
A Nano synced with the same content has arranged everything by episode number.
Both iPod's are normally synced to indows computers, but the video content was from a MacBook.
There is a lot of chatter about this issue, though no solutions.
Can anybody help?

I've found out some more since my last post in this thread...
As of firmware 1.0.3 it appears that TV shows are ordered by release date. Sadly the iTunes interface does not provide a way to update these values but there are 3rd party tools that can help. Lostify apparently does the trick for Mac users, though I've no practical experience being stuck in the PC universe. PC users might like to try Tagger....
Tagger needs a bit of effort to get working so for PC users I'll share my experience. The download is RAR compressed so first you need an unpacker for that - I plumped for 7-Zip. Tagger relies on a working Java RunTime Envionment, not just the browser plug-ins so I headed off to java.sun.com for the *JDK 6 Update 3*. Once Tagger is up & running it's still not clear exactly how you are supposed to enter the date but further seaching revealed that it should be in the format YYYY-MM-DD. The good news is, it works! I've only done one of my series so far but the episodes are now in the correct order. Tagger also includes options to change all sorts of other hidden attributes which aren't exposed in the iTunes interface, e.g. Podcast details, ratings etc.

'Recently Played' times incorrect for videos.

Overall, I'm loving my Apple TV, but the only problem I have is this:
After watching a movie/TV show on my Apple TV and then syncing with iTunes, the videos that I've watched are showing up in my 'Recently Played' playlist in iTunes but their 'Last Played' time is incorrect. The time shown is usually in the future, maybe eight or so hours ahead of the actual time.
Songs played on the Apple TV show up in iTunes with the 'Last Played' time correct, the problem only happens with videos.
It's not a major issue, but it's annoying me a bit because my Recently Played playlist is all messed up.
Is anyone else having this problem? Anyway to fix it?
Thanks.

Hi,
This is a known issue, and Macfixit has this to say about it -

Apple TV Special Report: Incorrect time setting
It appears that many Apple TVs are displaying the wrong time -- generally several hours ahead of the current, actual time as maintained by the host Mac/PC. This causes issues with the "Last played" time-stamp, which may erroneously show a future time for the last playback.
This is an issue into which Apple is looking, and may necessitate an Apple TV software revision.

IPod Classic 160 Gb - iTunes is SLOW and where are my Podcasts?

I just upgraded to an iPod Classic 160. I have experienced 2 problems, but not with album art.
First, iTunes is very slow. It seems to freeze for minutes at a time when performing any operations on it.
Secondly, I have a lot of Podcasts - both video and audio.
I can download them with no problem. I can see them in the contents pane in iTunes for my computer. I can play them in iTunes and I can sync them with my new iPod (apparently).
However, they do NOT show up on my iPod. The new contents screen shows No Podcasts. When I do a search for them they show up as songs and I can heard the video podcast soundtracks.
In iTunes with my iPod connected they show up under both the iTunes directory and in the iPod Directory immediately after syncing. However, if I eject and then reconnect the iPod, upon reconnection they no longer show up in iTunes in the iPod directory.
I am assuming this is a bug with either iTunes 7.4.x in the way it categorizes Podcasts or it is an OS issue with the iPod. I have the latest versions of iTunes, the latest SW and Firmware updates for the iPod and have rebooted to assure that the latest versions are the ones running.
Anyone else experience these? Anyone find solutions?
Thanks.

I'm having very similar problems.
In addition to iTunes becoming completely unusable for a few minutes (completely frozen) when I plug in to sync and recharge, the unit itself seems to periodically hang for more than a few seconds as I navigate the menu.
My podcasts disappear from my iPod classic every time I sync, whether or not I listened to them.
Every once in a while it just shuts off and requires a manual restart to come back on.
The battery seems to drain far faster than what makes sense, and all I do is listen to music. Two hours into my listening time and the battery meter says its almost a quarter drained!
At this point the thing keeps randomly rebooting for no reason when I am using it. Also, as I'm typing this, I heard the click of death from the hard drive.
One thing of note though, I noticed that I had set up LastFM with the thing when I first got it. I doubt it would cause half the issues here, but it is a variable to consider.
I have restored this device three times since it arrived. In addition, I'm finding myself restarting it at least twice if not more per day.
I have put in a request to warranty this thing. This soon after ordering it, and after all the things I've done, my experience screams that this unit is defective. Either that, or Apple is gonna need to issue a recall. I really hope it is just the former.
